If these had come up earlier .........

I really want them, but I don't need them as I've bought some beautiful 130 mm hubs.

They need the elusive Mavic cassette though

Just got outbid on these. I have the 577 version with 135mm axle. They are hands down the best 8 speed hub out there. The 2nd gen version, which I think these are, do take Shimano HG cassettes, as well as others. Darn!

Yes, a HG cassette body was available but they‘re pretty rare. This one is only Mavic compatible as it has the ‘scooped’ splines

Mavic body for Mavic "half moon" cogs.


HG Body for Shimano cassettes.

Half moon, that’s the term!
…you don’t happen to have an HG body spare do you?

I wish I could help you out.
I have 2 Mavic bodies available, though
I've been thinking to have one of the Mavic bodies turned down to see if the steel driver flange could be mated to another HG Body.
I need to find a body seal for the hubset that I have.

Interesting. Let us know how you get on with any such mod’s…

Here's mine. Had them for over 25 years. Just changed all 4 sets of bearings in rear. A design masterpiece. Sorry pic isn't better.

BTW I'm running 'Shark Teeth' cogs on the original Mavic HG compatible cassette. Not the same as the 1st pic in dbwheels above.
